Although there are real fresh water sharks, most fish that are called "sharks' in the freshwater aquaria are not sharks at all and they are not even related to sharks in any way either. Some of them are of the 'Epalzeorhynchos sp' others are 'Labeo sp. and others are in the 'Balantiocheilus sp.'. There are several other species that have 'shark like' members too that are also wrongly called 'sharks' (eg Bala shark, Red Tailed Black shark etc). To the best of my knowledge none of the species commonly called 'sharks' in the fresh water scene need any special lighting.
